Scientists in California have turned a sci-fi-like idea into reality. A company called Respace has successfully achieved two-way communication between two people who were both asleep and lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is when someone becomes aware that they are dreaming and can even control parts of the dream. This happens during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of sleep, which is when our dreams are the most vivid. The two participants in the experiment were both experienced lucid dreamers, meaning they had developed the skill to be aware that they were dreaming. Before falling asleep, the participants were hooked up to special equipment that tracked their brain activity and sleep patterns in real-time. This data was sent to a central system that monitored their dreams as they unfolded. entered a lucid dream, and the system, recognizing the brain activity linked to this state, sent a random word to the dreamer. The word was from a language created specifically for the experiment, called Remmyo The system detected the brain activity indicating this and sent the same word, “Zhilak,” to her through earbuds. According to REMspace, this kind of technology might eventually help with mental health treatment, learning new skills, and other applications. However, the technology and the results need to be reviewed and replicated by other scientists to ensure its accuracy and effectiveness. Yesterday, communicating in dreams seemed like science fiction. Tomorrow, it will be so common we won’t be able to imagine our lives without this technology,” REMspace CEO and founder Michael Raduga reportedly said. “This opens the door to countless commercial applications, reshaping how we think about communication and interaction in the dream world
